Our first comment was on our second day, August 17th 2007 “Where will it lead? ” by trythisone on our third post… who never showed up again.
Number 100 was on September 15th, 31 days in, John laughing at Jacqui Dean for wanting to ban dihydrogen monoxide – also known as water.
Our thousandth came after 62 days on Oct 16th, Sam Dixon calling the Nats scum.
The ten thousandth was Lynn banging on about some computer mumbo jumbo on Jan 23rd 2008, 162nd day.

Now, 688 days in, we’ve hit 100,000… and the winner is (drum-roll)….

felix in typical hectoring form annoying Tim Ellis

Tim,

Care to back up the $70k claim?

And while you’re at it, the $1k claim as well? (I know that one was a wild stab in the dark but I also know you’re miles off btw.)

Also, when does ‘academia’ cross the line into ‘pseudo-academia’?

So thank you all (except the ones we had to ban). Whether left or right, witty or angry, argumentative or conciliatory, lucid or perplexing, verbose or the soul of brevity, one-offs or regulars, The Standard wouldn’t be The Standard without all of you.

Cheers.

The Standardistas

[PS Marty reckons if the growth pattern holds we’ll reach 1,000,000 a few months before the 2014 election -nearly two years for the first 100K, just five for the next 900K. It’s enough to give Lynn kittens. Let’s try to beat it :)]
